Be it known that Joni-v D. Dosson, a citizen ot the United States, residing at Cedar Rapids, in the county ot Boone and State of Nebraska, has invented certain new and use ful lmprovements in i-inirnal Drinking Troughs, of which the following is a specification.

My invention rela-tes to animal drinking troughs and its principal object is to provide a drinking trough adapted 'for use in swine i'iarrowing pens, so mounted to prevent the saine being turned over hy the feverish sows.

i further object of the invention is to provide a drinking trough which .mounted a new and improved manner and can be readily removed from its mountingl tor the purpose or cleaning or refilling the imo.

idf ith the preceding' and other objects and advantages in mind the invention consists in the novel combination of elements. constructions and arrangement ott parts and opera-- tions to he hereinafter specifically referred to, claimed and illustrated in the accompanydrawing, wherein- Figure l is a perspective of my improved drinking trough arranged in operative position.

Figure 2 is side elevation or the support or mounting tor the trough, and

lligure 3 is a detail view showing the re movable fastening between the trough and support.

Referring to the drawing in detail wherein corresponding; characters of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the several views, the numeral 5 designates a pair of vertically arranged angle irons connected by horizontal cross hars 6 and closed at their lower ends, the latter being adapted to oe attached to the swine pen as shown in Fig, l. 'lhe trough consists ot a rectangular casing or receptacle having one pair ot its corners slidahly arranged in the vertically arranged angle irons. Extending vertically from one of the walls of the trough is an opstanding har 8 the latter he ing disposed centrally of the ends o the trough.

This har 8 lies against the horizontal cross hars 6 and provided with openings 9 reg istering with similar openings l0 in these cross hars to receive pins 1l. When it is desired to remove the trough the pins 1l are removed and the trough raised vertically from the angle irons.

From the disclosure it will be seen that l have provided a simple and inexpensive drinking trough. that can loe installed in a comparatively small space.

Frein the foregoing it will be seen that l have provided a simple, inexpensive and efficient or carrying out the objects of the invention, and while l have particularly described the means cest adapted to perform the functions set forth, various changes in form, proportion and in the minor details of construction may he resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any ot the principles of the invention.

What l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. A drinking trough comprising a pair of vertically arranged angle irons, a pair of cross hars connected with the same and adapted to loe connected with a support, a trough slidably arranged in said angle irons, a har carried thereby and adapted to be detachahly connected with the cross bars.
